The Great Divergence pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載 2024
The Great Divergence brings new insight to one of the classic questions of history: Why did sustained industrial growth begin in Northwest Europe, despite surprising similarities between advanced areas of Europe and East Asia? As Ken Pomeranz shows, as recently as 1750, parallels between these two parts of the world were very high in life expectancy, consumption, product and factor markets, and the strategies of households. Perhaps most surprisingly, Pomeranz demonstrates that the Chinese and Japanese cores were no worse off ecologically than Western Europe. Core areas throughout the eighteenth-century Old World faced comparable local shortages of land-intensive products, shortages that were only partly resolved by trade.
Pomeranz argues that Europe's nineteenth-century divergence from the Old World owes much to the fortunate location of coal, which substituted for timber. This made Europe's failure to use its land intensively much less of a problem, while allowing growth in energy-intensive industries. Another crucial difference that he notes has to do with trade. Fortuitous global conjunctures made the Americas a greater source of needed primary products for Europe than any Asian periphery. This allowed Northwest Europe to grow dramatically in population, specialize further in manufactures, and remove labor from the land, using increased imports rather than maximizing yields. Together, coal and the New World allowed Europe to grow along resource-intensive, labor-saving paths.
Meanwhile, Asia hit a cul-de-sac. Although the East Asian hinterlands boomed after 1750, both in population and in manufacturing, this growth prevented these peripheral regions from exporting vital resources to the cloth-producing Yangzi Delta. As a result, growth in the core of East Asia's economy essentially stopped, and what growth did exist was forced along labor-intensive, resource-saving paths--paths Europe could have been forced down, too, had it not been for favorable resource stocks from underground and overseas.
彭慕蘭(Kenneth Pomeranz),美國加利福尼亞大學爾灣分校曆史係主任、曆史和東亞語言文學教授,加州大學係統世界史研究組主任。其大部分著作圍繞著中國和比較經濟發展、農村社會變革、環境變革及政府的形成等展開研究,但也著有民間宗教史和傢庭結構及性彆角色史方麵的著作。
觀點很新穎,但是論證很一般,我就找齣他好幾個例子是不成立的~
評分今天中國經濟史結課還是挺感慨的,本科課程基本結束,但對許多問題的糾結和思考,大概纔剛剛開始。希望未來還能糾結很久。感謝大梁神上課盡職盡責地把這本書復述瞭一遍,不然大概沒毅力細讀;也要深深感激送我這本書的童鞋=D
評分視角很新穎,史料很詳實,但讀起來真是無聊啊
評分書中描繪的“中國”如此反“常識經驗”,是因為作者以孤證乃至誤證為基礎建立起一條看上去很美很給力的邏輯鏈,事實上經不起仔細推敲。
評分大傻逼
多年前,加州大学尔湾分校的彭慕然(Kenneth Pomeranz)的一部《大分流》在世界汉学界引起了巨大反响。一时间,赞成者和反对者论战不止,国内也是”群雄混战”,也算是近来学术界的奇观之一。彭慕然的书之所以能够如此轰动,归根结底乃是因为作者观点的与众不同。 传统上,中外...
評分帝制时代的中国文明是领先的,然而却在清朝时代走向没落,然后一个掌握了历史规律的阶层通过革命,重新使得中国文明振兴起来。这种历史主义的叙述在波普尔看来是柏拉图的谬误,经过后来的黑格尔、马克思发扬广大,而又通过苏联被引入到了中国。 欧洲处于现在的支配地位是什么...
評分时尚的塑造——大分流读后感 大分流是我读的第三本英文原著,虽然有中文译本,而且翻译的也不错,但是为了练习英语我还是选择了读英文本,然后情况往往是读着读着就迷失了,不知所云,更找不到逻辑,此时,只好在拿着中文本的对照一下,最要命的对于这方面的背景和积累很少。以...
評分周锡瑞老师以前的1500字命题作文,我就不介绍书了。 十年之后,当彭慕兰先生《大分流》一书仍被不断提及和争论时,即便是持反对意见的学者,也不会不承认此书的经典意义。诚如许多学者已经提出的批评那样,我认为彭氏在此书中即便不是刻意“抬升”了中国各方面与西欧不相伯仲...
